In this time of fear, panic and unreasonable responses to the Coronavirus, we must turn to the Word of God and respond to this properly, as the people of God.

Video is an hour long.

In my opinion the proper response is the responsible one:

Restrict your movement unless necessary
Take Vitamin C
Dont do anything stupid like walk in a mall with your mouth wide open
Wash your hands
Pray

Remember its not just about ME or YOU, we might not be infected, we may get little to no symptoms at all, however think of the other people you might infect, such as the elderly or those with underlying health conditions.

Took 16 minutes to get to scripture. I think that everything that he had to say that was important to his message he could have said in 10 minutes.
I don't like listening to fluff and stuff. Either make your point or shut up.
Anyway who knows what his point is from the rambling on and on and on.

I think that if you are immuno compromised or elderly I agree.
If you are not live your life and handle business. If you need to come in to contact with those at risk, take the necessary precautions, wash your hands, wear a mask.

As Christians we are to be a light to the world. Not sheep with a heard mentality. We should be strong and faithful, unmoved by fearful things.

The idea is to stop it from starting. Think of how we appear to the world. "I am not worried because I believe God will protect ME. You are not my concern. I will do what I want. Hey, it isn't bad so it won't get bad. Even though the rest of the world is locking down and the places that didn't are in crisis, I know better. I will benefit from everyone else's sacrifice. So what if I am a carrier? If it doesn't affect me then it doesn't matter. "
Folks, we need to live what we preach. Be considerate. Follow the advice and restrictions you are given. Do not encourage others to show their faith by disregarding care for their neighbours. Lead by example. You don't know where the virus is but to stop it we have to act now.
As for it being a lack of faith, that is ridiculous. We don't tell people to walk across a highway and trust that God will keep them safe. Why not? Won't he protect you if you trust him? He gave us wisdom. Self isolation is an act of love for others. It isn't just about us and our wants. Let us show love.

Agreed. Most “ Open Air Preachers” are judgmental and condemning. I actually believe they cause more strife than anything.

For many whom do not know the Lord, their fear can be paralyzing. We must seek God’s providence and be a light unto the world. We disagree with how the authorities are handling the situation, but God did place them there and we are called to obey.

Well facts matter too.
From the studies if you bother to read them rather than listen to the propaganda; basically if you are reasonably healthy you are at almost no risk of being affected. Only folks with compromised immune systems and elderly folks are at risk. So it's not like walking across a busy hyway at all. It's more like walking across a sidewalk. So while yes take precautions when dealing with those at risk bit shutting down the world is an idiot response, and for Christians to indulge the idiocy is just plain ...

Dear Posters,
We are all concerned about this new virus and I want to share some info. --- I have no interest in this product except for its benefits.
Coronavirus and norovirus are similar, and according to info online, norovirus, colds and flu can be killed by Oregano oil. --- It may be a deterrent to all viruses. --- Check out the uses and benefits of Oregano Oil online, there is a lot that can be studied.
Quote: Carvacrol, the primary active component in oregano oil, effectively kills norovirus, a common cause of food-borne illness in hospitals, schools, and cruise ships. The compound works by breaking down the tough outer coat of the virus, which is the leading cause of vomiting and diarrhea around the world.The oil of oregano is taken by mouth for intestinal parasites, allergies, sinus pain, arthritis, cold and flu, swine flu, earaches, and fatigue. (And one list included e-coli.)

--- Place 1–3 drops of this dilution under the tongue, hold it there for a few minutes, then flush with water. --- Swallowed: If you're taking the oregano oil orally, you can put a few drops of it into a cup (237 ml) of water, gargle and then swallow.
--- On my bottle of Oregano Oil, which comes with a dropper, it says ‘take five drops a day,’ which can be taken in a cup of water. It may not taste the best but it doesn’t linger. I take it early in the morning in my usual cup of hot (boiled) water, before I take other medications.
The Scripture says that “In the last days perilous times will come.' --- There will be “Famines, earthquakes, pestilences,” --- and ‘pestilences’ can mean ‘infectious diseases.’ --- If we can use a home remedy to perhaps build up resistance, --- as well as washing our hands frequently, so that they are clean when we touch our face, or food, we will be doing what we can to help ourselves, and hopefully others. Blessings

The newest data coming out of Italy is showing that not only the elderly are at risk or those with other health challenges the second wave is showing younger people

Twelve per cent of those who have been treated in intensive care are aged between 19 and 50, according to official figures released last week. Around 52 per cent are between 51 and 70 years old, with the rest all over 70.

Best to have the facts.

That link that you posted doesn't really help unless you read Italian which I did not.
I have read tons and tons of information on this subject and the effects worldwide.
So let me pose a question to you.
Why do you suppose that this virus has hit Italy so hard, but their next door neighbor Greece, not so much? You can also include France. France is also their next door neighbor, also not hit so hard as Italy. What do you think the differences are that has caused this?

I can tell you this the differences are the reason why Italy has been hit so hard and is not a model for the rest of the world?
